Hello brothers and sisters,
As a virtue, charity is that
habit or power which disposes us to love God above all creatures for
Himself, and to love ourselves and our neighbors for the sake of
God. When this power or habit is directly infused into the soul by
God, the virtue is supernatural; when it is acquired through
repeated personal acts, it is natural.
This is a small reminder that as
Eagle brothers and sisters we are 'called' and one of our main
principles is 'people helping people' and as such charity is within
us all. ~~RW
Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 13
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have
not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I
could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And
though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself
unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no
evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall
fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we
prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that
which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish
things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest
of these is charity.
